It is a AKC registered Rumsfeld Terrier. They stop at nothing when they fight. Several have been hauled away dead with their jaw still locked onto Islamo Terriers

American Bulldog?
My nextdoor neighbor’s son has a number of dogs he claimed were of that breed and had them tied up in the neighbor’s backyard while passing through on the way from Point A to Point B last year.

It does look a lot like the staffordshire I know, but the head and muzzle look a bit shorter. Maybe it’s the angle of the camera. *shrug* Or maybe I’m completely wrong.
